A lot of people pretend to understand what theyre writing about when it comes to this topic and generally, hardly anyone actually get it. You seem to grasp it though, so I think you need to run with it. Thanks a lot!

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 19:57:41 +0000http://jets.lohudblogs.com/?p=2885#comment-11870I hate being the Devils Advocate. But after watching Brad Smith and the rest of the 3 stooges, I am in total favor of bringing Marshall in. If they want a #1 & #4 give it to them. It would be like getting a sure thing #1 next year and we will only be giving a #4. We didn’t want Moss and we didn’t want T.O. Where are they now ? In our division making both of our competitors stronger. We have all the pegs in the right hole except for a # 1 WR. He is young and talented and wants out of Denver. I know this blog in not in favor of getting him. But after a few catches and TDs I am sure some people will change their minds. When I was younger I hated Johnny Sample. But when he came to the J*E*T*S and made us stronger I loved the guy. Just a couple of plays will change a lot of peoples minds. There are also a couple of other WRs out there that would help. So lets see what they . It has only been about 5 years that we have needed a #1 WR.

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 16:16:26 +0000http://jets.lohudblogs.com/?p=2885#comment-11869I agree that this is not a bad decision. It really was a toss-up, and, naturally, Sanchez got the nod. But three things I must repeat: Clemens played well against this same defense in Baltimore in a real game that really counted, victimized by McCareins’s dropped tying TD pass; Clemens did not receive any scripted calls to throw long against the easy Rams, unlike Sanchez; finally, Clemens actually threw two TD passes last game, but one was dropped in the end zone by Brad Smith. There’s some unfairness there—explaining Sanchez’s stats while minimizing Clemens’s.

All that being said, I look forward to the season with Sanchez at the helm. Kellen: Don’t lose track of your helmet while you’re on the bench. I have a feeling you’re going to need it!

n the bright side, there were these observations from Mike Martzas reported by Cimini in the NYDN:

The former Rams coach, known as an offensive guru, said Sanchez was victimized by protection breakdowns. On the Ngata interception, Lewis was unblocked on a blitz, giving him a free shot at the rookie. Martz credited Sanchez with knowing where to dump the ball, holding it as long as he could before absorbing the hit. “It wasn’t a bad read; (Sanchez) didn’t make a mistake,” said Martz, who suspects that fullback Tony Richardson was late into his pass route. “You just had a guy who quit rushing the passer and was right there in the throwing lane.”

Martz said Sanchez made only one bad read, the ball that should’ve been intercepted by Lewis. On that play, Sanchez locked on his receiver, Chansi Stuckey, never trying to look off the linebackers.

On the TD throw:

“A big-time throw,” Martz said. “He shuffled to the side, but he didn’t take off. He just moved to the side and threw that ball right by the ear of the linebacker, the only place you could put it. He knew the safety would run with the wide receiver. I thought he stayed composed so well.”

I agree on many levels, I am not interested in getting a Diva WR ( Jets motivated by PSL’s). I can’t hide my major disappoitment in Brad Smith, I have defended the guy for a long time, I’m wrong again, very depressed. You make an excellent point, Randy Moss was obtained for a 4th round pick, unfortunetly not many organizations are as dysfunctional as Oakland.
Brandon Marshall has some serious problems, problems with violence.
Edwards can’t catch.
The Trusnick thing , was that he it was curious that he did not play. Jason would be valued by Mangini, as he installs his 3-4, it makes the deal very attractive to Cleveland, you get a player for the defense and a second round pick next year, from a Cleveland perspective, I would do that deal getting rid of that Diva Edwards in a heartbeat.
Jane will tell you that journalistic integrity ,ethical behavior, and an interest in truth is not compatible with TV guys like Jaworski &Gruden

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 10:22:03 +0000http://jets.lohudblogs.com/?p=2885#comment-11863I can’r belive we’re at the end of August and we’re still talking about getting an impact WR. This topic is getting as old as the whole Brett Favre deal (hey, he still might retire again before the season starts). There just doesn’t seem an end to this until the regular season starts.

JetOrange talked about a trade for Braylon Edwards for Trusnik and a second rounder in “Post Baltimore” (if I’m correct). I don’t think that works because Trusnik really hasn’t proved anything other then being a spot player and Schotenheimer can’t wave his magic wand and make Edwards start catching the actual ball again.

Please don’t anyone mention Marshall again. I know it’s unfair, but I wouldn’t want to be within forty yards of him unless I had desire of being shot at by someone who refers to themself as “Big Daddy” or something along those lines.

The Pats got Randy Moss from the Raiders for a fourth rounder. A fourth rounder. So, unless we’re talking about dollar store prices I’m not interested.

I blame Jaworski and not Gruden for starting these rumors up again.
